Among the red canister variety of gelatin, there are yet even more decisions to be made! You have two options: kosher or porcine. Kosher meaning, pig-free and from cows only, and porcine which is primarily from pig parts (hide and bones).
A parallel port is an interface allowing a personal computer (PC) to transmit or receive data down multiple bundled cables to a peripheral device such as a printer. The most common parallel port is a printer port known as the Centronics port.
When PCs all had parallel bus architecture, the UART's purpose was to convert bytes from the PC's parallel bus to a serial bit-stream. The cable going out of the serial port is serial and has only one wire for each direction of flow. The serial port sends out a stream of bits, one bit at a time.
